key market numbers

Catalysts landing next 7 days

Jul 13 · Integration · Impact 8.0 (HIGH) · STRONG SETUP

Price: -95% vs ATH · at its 3-month low · 30d +0%
Sector: Layer 1 (L1) · 30d +2%
Why it matters: Progmat moving more than $2.7B in regulated Japanese digital securities onto an Avalanche L1 is a real adoption signal, especially because it improves transfer speed in a regulated market. But AVAX is still sitting at its 3-month low, which suggests the market wants proof this use case can grow before it gives the event much weight.

Jul 16 · Tokenomics · Impact 7.5 (HIGH) · STRONG SETUP

Price: -92% vs ATH · at its 3-month low · 30d -7%
Sector: Layer 1 (L1) · 30d +2%
Why it matters: Kaia’s tokenomics update matters because replacing emissions with contributor rewards and burn mechanics is a direct attempt to improve supply discipline. Still, with the token at its 3-month low and no recovery yet, the market is likely to wait for the full details and judge whether the change is large enough to alter demand.

Jul 13 · Integration · Impact 7.5 (HIGH) · STRONG SETUP

Price: -86% vs ATH · at its 3-month low · 30d -11%
Sector: Layer 1 (L1) · 30d +2%
Why it matters: The Bridge integration gives XDC a clearer payments and settlement use case, tying the network to Stripe-backed stablecoin infrastructure rather than a vague roadmap. Even so, XDC is still at its 3-month low after a weak month, so relevance depends on whether this turns into visible usage, not just another infrastructure link.

Jul 17 · Fork/Swap · Impact 6.5 (MEDIUM) · STRONG SETUP

Price: -99% vs ATH · at its 3-month low · 30d +2%
Sector: Layer 1 (L1) · 30d +2%
Why it matters: DigiDollar going live on DigiByte is a concrete network event, but its market relevance looks limited unless it quickly leads to actual use on-chain. DGB is still stuck at its 3-month low, which suggests traders see this as a technical milestone first, not yet a demand driver.

Jul 13 · Release · Impact 5.5 (MEDIUM) · STRONG SETUP

Price: -91% vs ATH · mid-range over 3 months · 30d -5%
Sector: Layer 1 (L1) · 30d +2%
Why it matters: Confidential Intents adds a practical privacy feature to NEAR’s cross-chain swap flow, which fits current demand for better user experience more than a headline-grabbing launch. With NEAR only sitting mid-range and the market still flat, this looks more like a steady product improvement than a near-term price catalyst.

more events to watch

Jul 22 - POLYX: v8 Mainnet Launch - HIGH. Polymesh v8 is a meaningful product upgrade because it broadens asset management features and adds EVM support, which could widen who can build on the network. But with POLYX still at its 3-month low and L1 momentum weak, the launch likely needs signs of developer or user uptake to move beyond a routine upgrade.
Jul 29 - STX: Bitcoin Staking Fork - HIGH. The Stacks hard fork matters because Bitcoin staking is one of the few crypto themes still drawing attention, and infrastructure names have held up better than L1s. But the catalyst is still over two weeks out and STX is at its 3-month low, so the market may wait for voting progress before treating it as a live driver.
Aug 1 - ACX: Exchange Portal Live - HIGH. The ACX Exchange Portal is different from a normal product launch because it gives holders a path to equity or cash, making token value terms more tangible. That could matter more than most summer events, but the timing is still broad, so attention may build only as launch terms and mechanics get closer.
